I am a true example of "summer lazy" since I have fallen behind on my blog posts! Yes, that does imply that I've been vacationing, enjoying family and friends, but most of all, exercising and balancing fun/work/fitness along with the heat.
Please mind the heat! I have taken my exercise sessions to 20 minute bouts and found a great sweat and the lovely high we feel from endorphins; those days that are just too exhausting to bang it out, I'm practicing yoga or Chi Quong. I don't get that beautiful breathless sweat thing on, but I still am elated and set to move on to remainder of the day.
Continuing on with my Zen approach to fitting it all in, I purchased a Deepak Chopra meditation CD* from Amazon. My favorite and go-to affirmation is Fear. This teaching emphasizes that we have only our self-doubt and egos to blame for failure; ego = edging God out.
This week make an effort to keep it all in check. Make time to honor your body by selecting healthy dining options, performing activities, and recovering/resting.
